Seahawks-Saints tickets are most expensive of the playoffs

Resale tickets for this Saturday’s divisional matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Seahawks in Seattle are the most expensive of NFL playoffs so far, according to SeatGeek.

The average price for a seat at Saturday’s game was $416, the online ticket reseller said Monday morning, with the least expensive seats — in the corner of the upper deck at CenturyLink Field — listed for a cool $203. [Editor's note: SeatGeek is a third-party vendor used on seattlepi.com.]

Club seats at the 50-yard line? They’ve gone for more than $2,000 apiece on SeatGeek, the company said in a news release.

First-hand tickets to Saturday’s game sold out in less than 30 minutes when the Seahawks offered them last Tuesday. The only way to get a seat now is to buy a ticket on the secondary market.

And people are snatching them up. Saturday’s game in Seattle is the most in-demand divisional playoff since SeatGeek started tracking prices in 2009, the reseller said. CLink seats are more expensive than tickets to the Patriots-Colts ($195 average), Panthers-49ers ($276 average) and even Broncos-Chargers ($355 average) playoff games this weekend.

You can bet the 12th Man will pack CenturyLink Field. SeatGeek said 40 percent of traffic to its Seahawks-Saints tickets page Sunday originated in Washington or Oregon, versus just 4 percent from Louisiana.

Meanwhile, there’s insane demand for tickets to the potential NFC Championship game in Seattle the following weekend. The average price for those still-nonexistent seats? A whopping $810.
